This book critically examines the realities of liberal democracy;
its elitism and non-accountability; and its inequalities and
injustices. Participatory systems and movements, whether in Athens,
seventeenth and nineteenth century England, or South Africa
1970-1990, are more effective in satisfying the democratic
aspirations of the people and in curtailing ambitious elites, than
what is passed off now as 'democracy'. By interrogating
contemporary democratic regimes, in the United States, and in
Botswana and South Africa, the severe limitations and constraints
inherent in liberal democracy are highlighted. The need for a clear
evaluation of what constituted democracy emerges as a powerful
message of Kenneth Good's argument.
